I have a two arrays, and I want to match their ID values and then get the index of that id in the second array. I know this sounds simple but I'm super new to the syntax, and I'm having a hard time picturing what this should look like. can anyone model that in simple terms?
example functionality:
var array1 = { id:2, name: 'preston'}
array2 = {
{
id: 1
name: 'john'
},
{
id: 2
name: 'bob'
}
Expected behavior
where both ids = 2, give index of array2. returns 1
can anyone show me?
You can use findIndex on array2
Try this:
var array1 = {
id: 2,
name: 'preston'
}
var array2 = [{
id: 1,
name: 'john'
},
{
id: 2,
name: 'bob'
}
]
console.log(array2.findIndex(item => item.id === array1.id))Or use indexOf with map if you want support for IE as well without polyfills.
var array1 = {
id: 2,
name: 'preston'
}
var array2 = [{
id: 1,
name: 'john'
},
{
id: 2,
name: 'bob'
}
]
console.log(array2.map(item => item.id).indexOf(array1.id))Iterate over each item in array1 using forEach(). Find each item's index in array2 using findIndex().
var array1 = [{id:2, name: "preston"}];
var array2 = [{id: 1, name: "john" }, {id: 2, name: "bob" }];
array1.forEach(item => {
let index = array2.findIndex(obj => obj.id === item.id);
console.log(index);
});
[]and contain list of objects or primitive values.
